DHAKA: Australia batsmen are chasing 214-run target to reach World Cup semifinals.

 

Till filing the report, Australia scored 100 runs losing three wickets in 20 over at Adelaide Oval Friday.

 

Earlier, Pakistan batsmen scored 213-run losing all wickets in 49.5-over in the 3rd Quarter-Final.

 

A number of Pakistani batsmen got the start but failed to convert it into big scores. Haris Sohail, Misbah-ul-Haq, Sohaib Maqsood, Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal scored 41, 34, 29, 23 and 20 runs.

 

JR Hazlewood grabbed four Pakistani wickets while M Starc and GJ Maxwell took two wickets each. MG Johnson and JP Faulkner took one wicket each.

 

Earlier, Pakistan captain Misbah won the toss and decided to bat first in the match that kicked off at 9:30am Bangladesh time.

 

The two teams have relied traditionally on pace and hoping that the drop-in pitch at Adelaide Oval will assist them.
